Background

About Phil N.

Phil is a forward-thinking entrepreneur who has demonstrated a solid track record in anticipating business trends. His latest venture, GigSuite, is focused on supporting Gen Xers and Baby Boomers get ready for their Next Future - a blend of personal and professional pursuits. For 20 years, Phil was a communications executive, representing global asset management, law, and private equity firms as well as emerging growth professional services firms in commercial real estate, tech, and telecom. In 2001, Phil left the PR agency life as an employee (Dewe Rogerson, Ruder Finn, Rubenstein, and Shea) and started his own firm, NouriePR, in a 4th floor walk-up studio apartment in NYC. On his first day of operation, he used the end of his bed as a desk and an old trunk as a chair. With a phone, fax and a computer, he built his firm from two clients to 16, in six months. That's when he got office space at 500 Fifth Avenue NYC and started hiring. In addition to his business endeavors, Phil has served on 14 nonprofit boards and advisory councils in the areas early childhood education, secondary education, higher education and the arts including music, and theatre.
